Summary of the contracting process

The City of London Corporation has completed a procurement process for "Legal Advisory Services in Relation to the Barbican Renewal Project," focusing on legal services under the CPV classification 79100000. The procurement method was a direct single tender action, specifically below the threshold, with the contract awarded for a period from 1st November 2023 to 31st December 2025, at a value of £77,910.30. The services are to be delivered primarily in London, United Kingdom. This process was concluded with an award to Trowers & Hamlins LLP, as of 30th October 2023, and the related award notice was published on 7th December 2023. This tender underscores the procurement stage as an award update, indicating recent amendments or confirmations.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for legal advisory firms, particularly those with expertise in large-scale urban renewal projects. While the process was completed through a direct procurement method, similar opportunities might arise for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) capable of providing specialised legal services tailored to infrastructural and development projects in complex urban environments like the Barbican. Engaging in such tenders can facilitate business growth by establishing key partnerships with public sector clients such as the City of London Corporation, and strengthening a firm's portfolio in the legal services industry.
